Democratic Party: Civil War

[RavenSky]

The irony here is that Bernie could only win with all the superdelegates! He couldn't win based on popular vote or delegates (which mostly follows the popular vote).

But we will never know what might have happened without all those stories talking about how Bernie had no chance based on the Superdelegates.

When people hear that their candidate has no chance no matter what they do they will many times not even show up.

Really? Then why did Rhea and I show up to vote for him?

If all of the people that you and Akirk blather on about as being so much better and more pure or whateverthefuck than Rhea and I - if they can't be bothered to show up and vote for their candidate, then you and Akirk need to apologise to Rhea and I who did show up and vote for Bernie.

THAT's how elections get won... not by belly-aching on a message board like the two of you. If you can't mobilize all those "people" you claim woulda/coulda/shoulda... then too bad for all of us. Especially those of us who DID

ETA: Add Jimmy to the list of those who DID

Sanders rose from nothing a year ago to a major contender. Still in the game.

He just couldn't overcome the Clinton machine.

Not her ideas.

Obama overcame it

It looks like the war may be coming to an end.
The DNC has geven Sanders a substantial voice on the Draft committee, which Sanders has acknowledged as an opportunity for his supporters voices to be heard.
It appears likely that Wasserman Shultz will be asked to step down.

This would be wonderful. I don't want Sanders to blow the opportunity he has earned here.

^^^ agree!

And you wonder why decent people don't agree with you.

actually, this is what I have been thinking about you throughout this thread (and others like it). You attack attack attack on a personal level, insist people are B when they have very clearly stated they are A, refuse to support anything you say, refuse to consider any of the factual support others have offered you, and you provoke provoke provoke.

All in the name of a candidate Rhea actually likes and supports.

So perhaps YOU are the one that needs to step back and take a hard look at YOUR methods before YOU damage Bernie Sanders' campaign any further. Because if YOU are representative of what is "decent", I don't want any of it either.
